Comments:

1) Hey, Caesar I just wanted to let you know that we’re having a little trouble down here with Antony’s Forces. They seem to be a bit stronger than we first anticipated, but don’t worry or anything I’m sure it’s nothing we can’t handle. Hail Caesar, Agrippa

2) Um, Caesar. Mother called the other day and she wants you to bring the sacrificial ox to the party, not the lamb, okay? Any it’s on Tuesday. And I don’t want to forget, Antony told me to tell you that if you surrender now he’ll let you keep some of your property in the islands. Call soon, Octavia.

My Litspace: Octavius Caesar

“It’s a monstrous labour when I wash my brain and it grows fouler.”

Dearest Litspace,

Today the most peculiar thing happened. I was speaking with my generals of our plan to defeat Mark Antony when Enobarbus, Antony’s right hand man, charged right into my tent and in utter seriousness declared his wishes to join our camp because he has lost faith in Antony’s ability to govern his troops responsibly. Well, if he is right it will surely save some of my men from unnecessary battle. Until next time, Caesar.

Dearest Litspace,

You will not believe what happened today. Enobarbus died. He just died. He was okay and then he was dead. At least that is what my night watchmen tell me and they seem like trustworthy fellows, perhaps I’ll kill them anyway, one can never be too sure. That Enobarbus though, he must have felt terrible about betraying his best friend and deserting to his master’s enemy. But, I’m sure it was the preparing to destroy him in battle part that must have really hit him hard. I suppose he tried to be loyal to Antony, goodness knows Antony was showing signs of weakness before I locked up Lepidus. Poor, loyal Enobarbus. I saw the signs. Until next time, Caesar.

Defeat at Actium

The defeat at Actium should not have occurred. We had “home field advantage” and superior soldiers. We were defeated because of a series of mistakes on my part. First, I engaged with Caesar at sea instead of on land. My army were at their best with their feet firmly on the ground. The next mistake was allowing my love, Cleopatra, to accompany her fleet into battle. A woman should not be in battle. That was made evident when she fled towards the shore. And, as my final blunder, I followed her. And left my men amidst chaos without command.

CleopatraCleopatra is the love of my life. I have had many lovers and a few wives but she is unlike

any other woman I have ever known. But I have learned a few things about life through my experiences with her. For one, I have learned that women do not belong in battle. At Actium she cost me the battle and my honour. Her cowardice convinced her to flee. And it is perfectly fine for herself to lack bravery because she is a woman but putting her in battle was a mistake. The true lesson I learned from Actium though is that I cannot allow myself to follow anything but my reason in battle. There is too much at stake to leave my decisions up to my passion

-My Litspaces--My Litspaces-Crystal Ball

A soothsayer gave me my fortune today, it was great fun! He foretold that I shall be beautiful in my old age and bear as many children as I wish! He also foretold that I shall outlive

Cleopatra…which I find peculiar. I wish he had foreseen me bathed in riches, but alas I’m not so

lucky.

Never.

I will never allow myself to be wrapped around someone’s little pinky finger such as Cleopatra has Antony. I told my lady today that maybe she should not cross him so; manipulating him in such ways cannot be healthy for the man! What did my lady say? “Thou teachest like a fool; the way to lose him.” I have come to learn that love is not at all a selfless act. It is all done in self

interest. One does not fawn and sigh for another person because it benefits them, wanting a person all to yourself at the sacrifice at nothing is the

most selfish whim one can have.

Charmian’s Friends Comments

Tragedy is in the midst be fairly warned, and keep a watchful eye

on your mistress.

how I miss my antony! The only way that I can bear it at all is because of your company my charmian without

you I would simply die!

Though I said you shall outlive your lady, I may not have meant

that makes your life a long one-- Perhaps you love her too dearly

Charmian, accompany me at the Nile tomorrow morning. I’d love to bask in the heat and gorge on figs.

My LitspacesTonight Enobarbus, Chamian, and I went to see a fortune-teller! I had been attending to Cleopatra all week so it was nice to finally just get out and paint the town red! We did not really believe in such things before we went, and most of the night consisted of drunken merriment. Charmian and I established that we did not want the extra inch on our husbands nose, and for a soldier, Enobarbus is so fun to be around. The fortune-teller said some interesting things though, and she said that Charmian and I will outlive Cleopatra. In the midst of my intoxication, some of what she said approached a level of frightening. Anyway, though, Cleopatra calls, and I must go see what she requires!

It has been a while since I have written, and the last entry I see was recorded in a much different time. Now, no one is laughing or drinking. Antony has died, and Cleopatra is beside herself. I never thought that I would see the queen so controlled, so genuinely distraught. Cleopatra is not acting the part of the victim, or the drama queen in a manipulative plot, she is truly depressed. She has grown, and I have grown too. I was a silly girl, filled with naive impressions of what love and living meant and now I am a woman who understands how serious love is and how deeply it affects one’s desire to continue living. I have heard that Caesar plans to parade the queen through Rome like some sort of circus-side-show freak, as though the punishment of having Antony gone from her is not enough. I love my queen, and now that I understand what the word really means, I know that if she takes her life I will take mineas well.

Char<3- She isn’t so scary once you get to know her. I mean sure, I am her favorite but you can gain favor too.

Alexus- She isn’t so scary! She almost killed me today when I brought her the news about Antony’s wife! AHHHHHHHHH!

Queen Cleo- Uhh…you guys do realize I can see this, don’t you?

Alexus- But my oh my, Iras, our queen is sooooooo much more beautiful than Octavia!

Queen Cleo- Nice try Alexus. Don’t be surprised if I try to kill you again! MWAHA HA AH!

Blog #1

Just before we were to go into battle, I said that Cleopatra should not be part of such a battle for she is not capable of fighting with our men. She was angered. Anotny allowed her to use her ships at sea, and as she retreated, would you believe it, he followed! We lost the battle. Late Antony forgave her and I decided to defect to Caesar’s command because my master had finally lost it.

Blog #2

At first, I thought I was justified in leaving most noble Antony. He had succumbed to lust and lost all his reason and good soldier abilities. Cleopatra has changed him for the worse and he is entirely controlled by his passion. After I proved to be the wiser solider before the battle, I decided that I must leave my master and defect to the Caesar’s command. However, when Antony received word of my terrible deceit he sent good word to me as well as all my treasures and belongings. I learned to trust the judgment and sanity of my master and that I must may for my betrayal to Antony. I decided to pay for my betrayal to such an honest man by going and dying in a ditch in the the city. Enobarbus’s friends:

My LitspaceBlog #1: The day that sticks out in my mind most is the day we found out that Enobarbus had abandoned us. For one, that put me in shock, and two then Antony orders us to give Enobarbus all his possessions back that he left. That day was nothing but a big shock to me. Just to imagine that the man who betrayed us is now going to receive all his abandoned possessions. I really would like to see his reaction.

Blog #2: That day of Enobarbus’ betrayal really put the aspect of human relationships into perspective for me. It helped me realize how some people, such as Enobarbus, will see their self interest as more important than their loyalty to lifelong friends and leaders. Then, there are men like Antony, who, even though betrayed, still put forth the action to assist this man whom he considered his friend. Evidently, Antony is more of an admirable man, and I don’t mind standing by his side, no matter the situation. He is the type of man whom I will strive to be like. And you just may never know the consequences of going against a man like Antony.

Hey man. I have a huge favor to ask of you. I’ll just wait till I see you later today though.

What it do? Boy was that party crazy or what? I never knew you could drain a pitcher like that. I bet you are feeling a bit under the weather right now. Well, I hope

we can do that again soon. I sure love Egypt.

Eros! Long time no see. Probably because that Antony of yours has been spending too much time with

Octavia… You better talk some sense into the man and send him back here immediately.

My boy Eros. Just dropping in to show some appreciation. You been there to help me out a lot and I don’t know what I’d do if you left. This life in Egypt is just so amazing, rejuvinating, revitalizing. IM glad you are here too… I have a feeling things just can’t get any

My LitspacesCharacter’s Blog #1: My wedding with Antony was the most luxurious event my brother Caesar has ever thrown me! It was a wonderful event because I spent it with all of Rome, including my friends and family. It was held in our beautiful home, with the most gorgeous flowers that smelled of sweet scent. I felt like a princess; all attention was on me, which rarely ever happens. Nothing can ever make me forget that life changing day.

Character’s Blog #2:I have learned a lot of lessons throughout my life, but nothing is more important than this specific event. I was sent back to Rome to try and attempt to alleviate the tension between my brother, Caesar, and my new husband, Antony. However, I have given up trying. My dear brother refuses to listen to me. I am nothing to him when it comes to his conflict with Antony. I have learned that one cannot really influence two power-hungry men from abandoning their dispute. Nothing can stop them, not even their wife or their beloved sister. It truly hurts my feelings that my own husband and my brother cannot get along. I am affected by it, but I prove helpless since they both care more about their power as leaders of Rome.

My dear wife, Egypt is fantastic. I wish you were here with me to share the beautiful scenery. Also, please tell your brother that there is no way I am bringing him back a gallon of Egyptian wine. It is a huge burden for my camel.

My dear sister, how are you doing? If Antony does anything to hurt you, do not hesitate to visit me or send me a messenger. Love you.

My dear wife, I am held back in Egypt. I have tried everything I could to limit my time here, but business has been hectic, and I have been left with no choice but to extend my time here. I will see you soon.
